Week of May 30 to June 2

Last Week of School!

Wow! We made it through the last week of school. I feel incredibly blessed by each and every single one of your children. They have truly made this year an exceptionally good one. 

This week, we found ourselves busy with closing out the year. We signed each others' yearbooks, watched a movie with the entire SI community, completed our final barn / greenhouse chores, and attended the last chapel of the year. Two of this week's highlights included our field trip to the Grand Rapids Public Museum. It such such a fun day of learning together. Check out the photos! Thank you so much to the parent chaperones who came with. We appreciate you. The second highlight of the week was the surprise breakfast I put together on Friday morning. I wanted to bless and thank the students for a job well done this year. We fellowshipped over fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels, and cookies! Yum Yum! Later, the students read their baton comments and reminisced over memories of this year and previous years. 

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for a good year. Thank you for your gracious patience and your warm welcome. I pray over these kiddos as they enter a much-deserved time of rest. I pray that they laugh and smile a lot. I pray that they learn to love God more. I pray that they grow in their friendships and relationships with family members. I pray that they are all kept safe. I pray that I see them all again in August- this time as big 5th graders.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email or text message. I am here. :))

From the Spanish Immersion Department:

What We Learned this Week: Bible:  This week, we studied David's desire to build a temple for God. We talked about how God sometimes says "no" as an answer to our desires. Just like David, we cannot allow that to make us feel bitter. God's will and plan is always good and perfect.  Math:  The students finished up their Unit 3 tests this week. We have started Unit 4 which is all about algebra. We started off by simplifying like expressions. I am including some practice exercises. If your student wishes to practice simplifying like expressions, s/he can complete this page and turn it in. I will provide feedback. Writing:  We are now officially finished with the Persuasive Essays. We look forward to next week when we move on to the Personal Expertise Essay. Social Studies:  The students finished their Geography of the United States Google Slides Project this week. We will be studying movements of people within the United States next week.  February 12 to 23 S...

What We Learned this Week Bible : We are kicking off our Bible class by understanding how Scripture interprets Scripture. We are studying the book of Philippians to do so. We investigated the events that took place during Paul's second missionary journey along with the people he met. Ultimately, we learned that Paul's primary focus was to know Christ even more- which should be our motive as well.  This unit is very short, so the students will be taking a quiz over the material we have learned thus far late next week. However, it is quite possible that the quiz will be pushed to early the following week. The students will be given a hard copy of the study guide, and I am including a digital copy of the study guide here as well. I also like to include links to a gamified version of the study guide. The platform is called "Blooket," and the students should be familiar with it. Here are the game links if your student wishes to play the games: Tower Defense 2 Monster Braw...

We have read up on how Ruth and Naomi traveled back to Bethlehem and how Ruth met Boaz.  The students will be taking the Judges and Ruth Test early in the week of September 30 to October 4. I will be providing the students a physical copy of the Spanish study guide on Monday. I am providing an electronic version of the Spanish study guide here . I am also including an English study guide for parent use only. Feel free to use this resource to support your student.  Additionally, I have made a Blooket using the test questions. I am including the game links here as another study resource for your student.
